Fordwich.
A very pleasant affair took place in
the hall at the residence of B. S. Cook,
Esq., on' Friday night, April 15th, when
a large number of the friends of Dr, and
Mrs. T. C. Spence met together for the
purpose of bidding them farewell as they
are departing on Tuesday for the great
north-west. The gathering included
not only people of Fordwich but from
Newbridge and beyond. When!arrange-
wents had been completed, Mr. Robt.
Mahood was called to the chair, and
Mrs. Richmond Fallis and Mr. Jas. Fallis
were despatched to bring the guests of
the evening, Dr. and Mrs. Spence. As
they entered the Hall, Dr. Spence es-
corted by Mrs. Fallis, and Mrs. Spence
by Mr. Fallis the company rose to their
feet and amid applause the guests were
placed in the chairs arranged for them.
A very valuable gold -headed cane,
beautifully ornamented and bearing
the inscription—"Presented to Dr. T. C.
S., April, 15th, 1892," was given to the
Dr., and Mrs, Spence was made the re-
cipient of a very handsome silver fruit
bowl. Rev. J. W. Pring read the ad-
dress to the Dr. and Mrs. J. Donaghy
that to Mxs. Spence, while Mr. J. Dona-
ghy and Mrs. Pring haiaded the presents
to the Dr. and his wife respectively.
The Dr. replied for both in felicitous
terms expressing his thanks for the
people's kindness and inviting all pres-
ent to visit them in their Prince Albert
home. Nearly all the gentlemen present
made short speeches showing their es-
teem for oar guests and regret at part-
ing. The Band of the Royal Temple of
this village were present and added to
the interest of the occasion by playing
admirably some very fine selections.
Below is a copy of each of the addresses.
Fordwich, April 15th 1892.
DR. T. C. SPENCB,
Dear Sir and Bro.—We, your many friends and
- Brethren of the different organizations of which
you are an honored member, have learned
with deep regret that you are about to
sever your connection with us and go to the far
west to push your fortune there ; and have met
together to -night in order to express our high
appreciation of the many excellent qualities
both of head and heart by which your inter-
course with us has been distinguished since
your coming amongst us.
As a citizen you have always been interested
in whatever was done for the public weal and
have heartily joined in every enterprise the ob-
ject of which was to advance the temporal and
moral prosperity of the village in which you
lived and carried on your chosen profession.
As a member of a Christian Church, an
Orangeman, Free Mason, and Canadian Forester,
you have always shown yourself interested in
whatever tended to the advancement of their
principles and the promotion of that fellowship
Which makes our association together so pleasant
We shall miss your friendlycounsel, your wise
judgment, your material assistance and your
jovial companionship.
As a physiein we desire to place on record our
tenqualifted testimony to the skill, patience and
,kindness with which you have always attended
to your duties. when sickness -invaded our
homes and we required medical assistance, we
feltein sending for you, that we were sending for
one who was able to cope successfully with any
ordinary disease, and who would do everything
an his power to immediately relieve pain, save
;life and restore health ; and that we had not
only the attention of a physician but a Christian
gentleman aawell. The very large practice you
have here gained will be a standing memorial
-to your ability and Stirling worth.
We ask you to accept this Cane as a tangible
and lasting evidence of our regard for you and
trust you will prize it as a reminder of the as-
sociations of the past and the feelings of esteem
and regret which mingle in our hearts on the
eve of your departure from amongst us.
We trust that in your distant home yon will
have abundant success in your chosen profession
and be long spared to employ your liberal talents
in the alleviation of human suffering and the
continuation of human life ; and that when your
eventful career on earth is ended you may be
Atfely gathered into everlasting happiness above.
On behalf of your many friends

Dear Friend.—Your many friends here, re-
gretting your removal, desire to record on this
- the eve of your departure, our regard for you.
We admire the noble qualities of female charac-
ter you have exhibited among us. As the wife
of a praetical physician, your position has been
by no means an ordinary one, and your -quiet un
Assuming way of attending to the onorous duties
;evolving upon you has been noticed and ap-
-preeiated.
We have always been glad to see you in our
omen. Your visits have been felt by as to be
too rare, and your acquaintance too slow in
idaking for the short while yon have been among
?piaYou have responded readily and cheerfully
to aid in any enterprise when mutual effort was
required whether for benefit or pleasure.
Olt desire is that your future friends may be
warm-hearted and true ; your future home as
cosy and comfortable as your heart can wish;
and that you may enjoy long life in the con-
fidence of a loving husband and happy family.
As a token that this is our wish and that you
May have something to remind you of your
j'riendsin Fordwich, we present you with this
Fruit Bowl and wish you every comfort both
now and hereafter. Signed by

to attend the funeral which occurred on
the 6th inst. Mrs. Cook is in Toronto
undergoing treatment at the hands of
specialists,- and hopes to return in a
couple of weeks, much improved, if
not fully restored to health. Mr. Cook
spent Sunday last in the city with her.
Mr. John Clegg is, busy unpacking the
stock of groceries which he has just re-
ceived at his store on the old Sweet -
man corner.
Mr. Benj. Rothwell had his leg broken
by a kick from Dr. Spence's horse the
other day. Both bones were broken
but he was properly cared for and was
able to accompany the party to the
Northwest on Tuesday, although he
had to be carried on a stretcher.
On Monday evening last about twenty
of the Brethren of Fordwich Lodge of
Free Masons, accompanied by their
ladies, made an impromptu call upon
Bro. Dr. Spence, on the eve of his de-
parture
eparture for the " Northwest. After a
short time spent in social converse Bro.
Thos. Gibson was called to the chair
and Bro. Wyness was ashen to read the
following address :
T. C. SPENCE, ESQ., M. D.:
Dear Sir and Bro.-We, the undersigned, on
behalf of the officers and members of Fordwich
Lodge, No. 331, A. F. & A. M., wish to give expres-
sion to, and place on record our regrets at your
removal from amongst us to settle in a distant
part of the Dominion.
By your departure we lose a good citizen, a true
Brother, a faithful and efficient officer, having
discharged with fidelity your duties of Treasurer.
When you settle in your new home we trust you
will continue to exercise the grand principles
and tenets of the Craft, maintain by word and
life that Virture, Morality and Brotherly Love
and Truth, are the enduring ornaments of our
Brotherhood, daily consulting our great and only
rule of faith, guided by the great lights of our
Order.
We pray that the Great Architect of the Uni-
verse may keep, guide and protect you and those
near and dear to you : and may the Grand
Geometrician prosper you "as au ear of corn
near a waterfall," encircling you with all tem-
poral blessings; and may the Most High pour
into your heart his Divine love and light, teach-
ing the greatest of all lessons "how to live" that
when you are summoned from this sub-
limary abode to the Grand Lodge on
High, the Grand Master of all may say "Well
done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into
thejoy of thy Lord."
We would ask you to accept of this ring to re-
mind you of our fraternal intercourse, while the
emblem thereon will bring to your mind the
grand precepts of our Order, enabling you to
discharge your masonic duties with fervency and
zeal.

Fordwich, April 18th, 1892.
The Dr. was taken completely by sur-
prise, yet expressed his gratification in
well chosen words. The ring is a beauti-
ful one, solid gold, with a single opaque
upon which rests a Masonic emblem in
gold. Lunch was served after which
toasts, speeches, song and story followed
each other in rapid succession until the
time for parting came. Dr. Spence was
an active member of the Fordwich lodge
and the parting toast "Happy to meet,
sorry to part, and happy to meet again,"
meets with an earnest response from all.
The business of Toronto Type
Foundry has now been made into a
joint Stock company, and- Mr. T. M.
Harris, of Brantford is one of the
directors. Mr. J. T. Johnson, is man-
aging director.
There were "razors in the air" again
in the southern part of London on Satur-
day evening, and, as a result, John
Harris (colored) is in the hospital, and
Jakey Butts (plain) is in jail. -It is all
the result of a "scrap" between the two
men. Butte appears to have been the
aggressor, but the other fellow was the
first to pull a razor. Butts had one, too,
and in the course of the slashing that
followed Harris was badly cut, the
white man tor once proving the most
expert in the use of the weapon.
